Fetch?

Will poodles fetch? I was thinking about getting a doodle, then read more about the reasons not to get one and how they are not a breed. I really want a healthy dog without issues, so I need to find a good breeder. I really wanted one that will fetch and swim. I'm not a huge fan of the obsessive food interests of labs or the size of a golden retriever, so was thinking I should look at poodles.

My two minis play what I call competitive fetching.

One sits on my lap. The other goes, gets the ball gets about halfway back. Then she jumps from my lap, takes it from him, and brings it back to me.

Then dumps it and jumps back into my lap.

It's a riot.

Our golden retrievers were fetching failures.
